The Dogs Everyone Wants to Know About

No. 10: Maltese

The sweet little Maltese is the quintessential companion dog, and he knows that his job is to love and be loved. Despite his tiny frame, he's got a whole lot of hair that needs daily grooming. But don't worry, he's happy to cuddle in your lap while you brush!

No. 6: Pomeranian

If we had to guess, we'd say a certain Pom named Boo helped make his breed one of the top 10 most searched types of dogs. But the Pomeranian isn’t new to being popular — this spunky canine became quite trendy in 1888 when Queen Victoria fell in love with one while vacationing in Italy.

No. 4: Golden Retriever

What’s not to love about the Golden Retriever? This popular family dog is cheerful, friendly and, best of all, always wears a huge grin.

No. 3: Poodle

The Poodle is one of the most versatile dog breeds around. You can find her (in all her primped and preened glory) performing in the show ring, racing through agility courses or simply enjoying the company of her family.

No. 2: Chihuahua

The Chihuahua is tiny, talkative and the pet of choice for many celebrities. He might be No. 2 on Google, but he will do whatever he can to be No. 1 with his human of choice.

No. 1: Bulldog

With his precious wrinkled face and easygoing personality, it's no surprise that the Bulldog tops Google’s list of most searched dog breeds!
